Castries Market, Public market in Castries, Saint Lucia.

The market spans across an extensive open-air space with more than 300 regular vendors selling fresh produce, spices, and handmade crafts.

Bruce & Still Ltd., an engineering firm from Liverpool, constructed the market in 1891, and Sir Charles Bruce inaugurated it on July 2, 1894.

Local vendors display tropical fruits, vegetables, spices, and traditional Saint Lucian crafts while sharing stories and customs with visitors.

The market opens daily with peak activity during morning hours, and visitors can access the Vendor's Arcade for local cuisine and on-site craft making.

The 1996 addition of the Vendor's Arcade provides designated spaces for merchants who previously sold their goods on congested city sidewalks.
